Hayek and Sowell are admirable, so libertarians want to claim them, even if they both deny being libertarians.

Care to make a wager? I'll prove that Sowell claims the label and if I do, you shut up, retract all of the nonsense you spout and promise to never post about libertarians again. You game goofy?

Thus, he explained that embedded within the common law is knowledge gained through a long history of trial and error. This insight led Hayek to the conclusion that law, like the market, is a "spontaneous" order-the result of human action, but not of human design.

Those revelations by Hayek are incompatible with Libertarianism, which is based on hubris, ignorance and open antagonism to concepts like prescription.

Oops. Sorry, "Thomas." I didn't read this before I posted.

I thought it was particularly satisfying that Dr. Sowell said, "I'm not a conservative. That @#$% Roscoe is a conservative. I want to be a far from him on the political spectrum as I can get!" ;-)
